Kat Von D renounces occult and gets baptized

[Anonymous]

Sad. Society celebrates young witches but caricatures and shuns old witches. Women have to change eho they are to satisfy the public.

It is a big change to go from a woman who called herself “Queen of Darkness” to a woman who publicly professes her love and commitment to God. But she also had a son and probably has has some major shifts in her worldview.

Becoming a parent affects many people to make changes in their life for the sake of their child.

Moving to a better home or school district, eating healthier, becoming more focused on family activities to accommodate your child is not “swinging” to an extreme.

Her life looked exhausting before, and she has stated in interviews her child comes first.

If someone with a small child (especially their first child) makes changes to accommodate their child and their family’s happiness, I think it is healthy and shows maturity.

Let me guess, if Kat was still living in LA and practicing witchcraft and occult magic, you would think she was stable? She was fine then…but the moment she became a Christian, it was a symptom of her mental illness?

I think she has shown that she is seeking happiness for herself and her child. LA is not a particularly healthy place to raise families.

She says she’s happy and her son is happy.

Thanks for letting us know you’ve never lived in LA, No, don’t lie now and say you have.

You sound provincial.

For the record, 2 of my children were born in Europe, the rest in Colorado. They love being able to say that they are “Native” in Colorado, since Colorado is being overwhelmed by people fleeing California. We have lived in 14 different states during their childhood.

You are correct- I haven’t raised any kids in LA. I was born and raised in NYC and Houston, TX, as we had homes in both states for my dad’s job.

Of all the places we lived, my kids agree that New Mexico is their favorite place- except it too is being overcrowded and overwhelmed by people and families leaving California.

I am sensing a pattern when I mention Colorado and New Mexico: people fleeing California.

maybe they are all “swinging” to a new life?

Or maybe they are simply leaving an expensive state they cannot afford to live in and moving to a lower COL state.

Uh, they are moving from a high CAL state to a high COL state.

Are you the poster who would rather have their aunt die than become a Christian?

Why would you rather have your aunt die in the streets, in a drug house, etc, alone and addicted to drugs (what what was your aunt addicted to? Heroin? Meth? Pills?)

Let’s be real: anyone who wishes a family member would die from an overdose rather than doing a 12 step program, becoming Christian, and saving their life is a selfish bigot who has either sociopathic or pathological (or both) tendencies.

anyone who would admit freely to others that yeah, piss off and die Aunt Sally, I’ll gladly see you face down in an alley with a needle in your arm before you get clean and live a happy, productive, drug free life is really awful and evil.

PP you replied to.

NO, I AM NOT THAT POSTER. I come from a Catholic family.

Maybe wait for me to reply before going off on a hate-filled rant. The way you treat others puts you at the same level as whoever you're ranting about.

As a drug addict, she was simply absent from things and a PITA to her siblings. As a "born-again" Christian, she was everywhere, all the time, pushing pamphlets into hands and giving impassioned pleas that we all attend her church, be "washed in the blood of the Lamb" and give our lives to Jesus Christ. For the record: everyone she was talking to already attended a church. Just not her version.

So yeah, it's more annoying to deal with that than never seeing her and just hearing stories about her hitting people up for money. But it's still healthier for her, and her addictive personality needs an outlet somehow.

If she'd become a witch and spent every family gathering demanding we perform solstice rites that would be deeply annoying too, and still healthier than drugs. Would you lot be as bothered by me noting how irritating that was, though? Or would you instead be outraged that I thought witchcraft was the healthier option and insist it was worse for her immortal soul?

So you see your aunt’s life in the context of how she should act to not annoy you?

Even if she were a drug addict killing herself, you didn’t have to deal with her, and out of sight, out of mind, and you are more than fine with that.

Because she’s an active Christian, and you have to see her and interact with her, you find her annoying. So you lament she will live longer.

She’s not a witch, and it’s a waste of time dealing in hypothetical scenarios.

The correct answer here, is: I love my aunt. I do not want her to die no matter what. Even if she’s annoying, we are grateful as a family she’s not a drug user anymore, As a family and as individuals, we will support her sobriety with love and understanding.

Did you answer how you know your aunt has an addictive personality? How do you know she didn’t get hooked on pain pills because of an injury? How do you know she didn’t start using drugs to self medicate after an emotional trauma she couldn’t deal with?

There are lots of reasons people start using drugs. Emotional, physical, sexual abuse, etc.

From your words you have written about your aunt, she must know she annoys you and you don’t like spending time with her. If you were a thinking, caring adult, you’d put your feelings of annoyance aside and support her sobriety. It’s extremely difficult to stop being a drug addict. She deserves support.

That actually is what I said, and it sent you on a spiral accusing me of wanting her to die. Sorry about your reading comprehension issues. The Bible must be really tricky for you, with all that small font!

Kat von D is clearly a damaged individual. The serious witches I know were not happy to claim a right wing anti-Semite attention seeker. That type of personality seems to be very welcome in the evangelical world, however. It sounds like she found where she belongs. I doubt she’ll find happiness, but she’ll find belonging and that provides its own comfort.

She was an anti-Semite when she was a witch.

Now she’s a Christian-definitely not an evangelical- and seen the error of her ways.

Is anti-Semitism big in the witch world?

I said she was an attention seeker and her attitudes were decidedly anti-Wiccan. I don’t know if Jew hate is a common feature among real witches, but I do know several practicing Wiccans who married Jews so I’m guessing not. I do know many practicing Christians who are anti-Semite, however.

So it’s very possible witches are proponents of Jew hate?

I know many practicing Jewish people who are anti-Christian. It’s unfortunate when people hate other people because of their religious views.

when you repent and turn away from things that are not of God the angels in heaven rejoice ! when you Renounce sin (repent ) you become new!when turning away from things such as witchcraft and so on, it cleanses your soul! and you or your family are no longer bound or cursed by evil spirits. so one or many should be happy and rejoice as well for a persons soul turning to something good rther then something evil!

Soooooo many bad influences in this world. The devil lurks everywhere.
Glad she had an awakening and now seeks “love and light”. Hope she inspires some of her followers to do the same

Ask Satanic Temple founder Lucien Greaves about anti-semitism. He's expert in dishing it out.

Found the ex-Catholic who hates Christians.

I assume that she has changed her life because she’s a mother now. If she was anti-semitic and not a good person earlier in her life, she has obviously changed for the better.

Judging from the religious fervor of some of our politicians, I don't believe that at all.

DP: No idea who this person is, but my first thought was that she must be planning on running for office.

she left one cult for another?
